PTC claims the new product release will help customers reduce time-to-market and lower development cost with enhancements in performance and visualization.

The company says the product’s powerful new capabilities for routed systems and manufacturability checks provide additional support to the development of ships and submarines.

CADDS 5i R14 is supported with a new version of CADDS 5i workgroup management software, Optegra 8, which helps engineering teams work together more effectively.

Jim Heppelmann, executive vice president and chief product officer of PTC said, CADDS 5i has been a standard in the shipbuilding industry for years. Leading companies continue to rely on it because of its powerful assembly management capabilities that remain best-in-class among design software vendors.
